It's like quoting a wikipedia article, but there was an episode about this in a LastWeekTonight type show[0]. Two takeaways:
1. One of the southern states (that I'm from) ranks super-high in killing baby girls, despite what one would think intuitively.
2. Doctors offer Levi's style buy 1, get 2nd 50% off style packages for sex-determination test + abortions (both of which are banned). To ensure that parents-to-be get both, they lie that the foetus is a girl.
